Six months earlier Det. Jessica Grayson sped through Gotham on her bike, she'd barely made it to the station before a lead on her suspect came in. She was straight back out and after him.

It had seamed an easy chase, but had proven far from it. Seeing this was getting out of hand she called her brother on her comm, his bike was much faster than her civilian one.

As the chase continued Jessie found herself in the warehouse district, her brother was on his was and should soon be with her.

However, she saw her suspect stopping, before running into one of the warehouses. She drove towards it, then came a loud bang, and silence.

When Jessie came to her ears were ringing, smoke and debris surrounded her. She tried to sit up, but quickly realised she'd broken a few too many important bones. This was bad.

Thankfully then came the sound of too more bikes, then her brother's voice "JESSIE!" He yelled running towards her. She could see his fuzzy figure leaning over her, "D-Dick?" She groaned, again trying to sit up, with the same painful result.

"Stay put would you J" Jason's voice this time, keeping himself emotionally separate unlike Dick. Who was clearly worried about his sister.

Jessie nodded slightly, just listening as Jason told Dick to go and change out of his uniform and head for Gotham Central. Once the older Grayson had gone Jason called the GCPD, they already knew of the explosion, but he wanted them to pass on the message he was bringing Jessie into the hospital, faster than waiting for an ambulance. With that he carefully moved her, knowing that considering her current condition there wasn't much that could make it worse. Then headed for Gotham Central.

Jessie faded in and out of consciousness on the way to the hospital. Determined to keep her awake Jason kept talking to her, making dumb jokes and comments mostly. Once they reached the hospital they were quickly separated, or would have been if it weren't for Jessie's murmured insistence Jason, or the Red Hood, stayed until someone else arrived, of course meaning her brother.

About half an hour passed before Dick made it, by which point they had gotten Jessie into theatre. Jason quickly explained what he had been told, the blast from the warehouse had sent her flying back, breaking a few ribs, her right leg, and fracturing her left arm in multiple places. On top of this there was an added complication, haemophilia, unknown to her brother until this point, Jessie had haemophilia, a condition preventing blood from clotting, and causing blood vessels to rupture much more easily. This meant she had a large amount of internal bleeding, the doctors warned that without a blood transfusion and serious surgery, her chances were slim.

A few days passed and Dick refused to leave the hospital, despite protests from Jason and Tim he would not leave his sisters side. After a long time in theatre the doctors had done all they could. Jessie was stabilised, but not out of the woods, she had fallen into a coma.

It's been a week since the explosion, one of the doctors said maybe it's best to write a diary to get some of what I have to say out. It sounds stupid but here we go. I've been talking to Jess a lot, I don't know if she can hear, but it's something to do, better than silence I suppose. Jason and Tim forced me to go home and get some sleep, taking shifts with her, just in case. But there's been no change.

Her doctor told us to prepare for the worst, I mean, we all know the dangers of what we do, but it doesn't make it easier. Especially when Jess was at work, not on patrol. Anyway I need to go, I can hear Jason down the hall to send me back home.

Its been three months, I haven't been able to spend as much time here as I would have liked. Strange killings have been happening all over Gotham, bodies drained of blood. It makes no sense.

And still nothing has changed. Jess has gotten more and more pale as the months have gone on. It's hard to watch. Not that I can do anything. Why didn't we get there faster, we might have been able to stop this, but we were too slow.
